It's probably a combination of 1. retaining backwards compatibility with applications that don't interact well with these features and 2. exposing users to behaviors that are hard to understand and undo once they are activated by accident.
- nickjj 4y agoNumber 2 is fun, I get a call from relatives at least twice a year because their screen was rotated 90 degrees from a keyboard shortcut that was hit when a cat walked across their laptop when the lid was left open. The crazy thing is it's happened 4 times now.
- Forge36 4y agoIs that a Windows feature? I know Intel's graphics driver does Ctrl+alt arrow. It can be turned off.
- tveyben 4y agoIt it’s the default config - thus 99% will have it enabled…

- tveyben 4y agoSpot on !!!!
- hnlmorg 4y agoIt's not a backwards compatibility thing, PowerToys has been a thing since Windows 95 and we've seen breaking changes in a few iterations of Windows since. The clue is in the name "Power" -- it's additional functionality for power users. Since Windows generally caters for the lowest common denominator, features like this would be deemed too complicated (sometimes even dangerous) for some folk. So it is an optional addon for power users. It's just like how WSL, PowerShell, etc aren't installed by default either.
